Leveraging Lean with Lean Quoting Cara Engel

Do you want to see your quote success rate double? See your sales grow 50% in less than three years?
Then this book is for you!

Have you implemented lean processes and are only seeing incremental profit improvements? Has your lead-time and inventory shrunk dramatically but sales volume remained flat? Then you need to read this book. It explains why you haven't seen the improvements you expected and also gives you a road map for instituting an innovative quoting process that incorporates lean concepts, frees up manpower for key quotes, improves your quote flow time, increases your total quotes submitted, and drives up profitable sales. This book is also actionable for non-lean companies if they are willing to take a unique and different look at their costs and how they process their quotes.

BRIAN MASKELL/NICK KATKO- BMA Founder/current President: "This book is an essential read for senior leaders and functional leaders in finance, sales, marketing, and operations."

JERRY SOLOMON - Author/Retired VP of Operations at MarquipWardUnited: "We are always alluding to the fact that Lean is a growth strategy rather than a cost reduction strategy. Me. Grinde shares his experiences in creating a growth engine using Lean Accounting methods combined with a robust quoting process to insure that any firm on the Lean journey can take advantage of its freed up capacity to improve the bottom line while better serving its customers."

JIM HUNTZINGER-Lean Frontiers President/Founder: "Ed Grinde discloses one of the most frequently missed, but critical and leading processes of a lean enterprise - a lean quoting process. Many lean orientated organizations retain their traditional quoting process, and are sorely lacking this key part of a lean business. Mr. Grinde gives a clear and detailed roadmap to guide you to develop, deploy, and utilize a continuously improving lean quoting process to take your company and your people to a truly effective level."
